TEST – III ENGLISH LANGUAGE Directions (Q. 101 – 115): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions. For many years, the continent of Africa remained unexplored and hence unknown.

Many people tried to explore the land but could not survive the dangers. David livingstone is among those brave few who not only explored part of Africa but also live among the tribals bringing them near to social milieu. While others explored with the idea of expanding their respective empires, Livingstone did so to explore its vast and mysterious hinterland, rivers and lakes. He was primarily a religious man and a medical practitioner who tried to help mankind with it. Livingstone was born in Scotland and was educated to become a doctor and a priest. His exploration started at the beginning to the years 1852. He explored an unknown river in Western Luanda. However, he was reduced to a skeleton during four years of traveling. By this time, he had become famous and when he returned to England for convalescing, entire London, along with Queen Victoria the, turned to welcome him. After a few days, he returned to Africa. He discovered the origin of the River Nile in 1866. He again suffered many discomforts. He became too sick and could not even walk. He lost contact with rest of the world that grew anxious to know his whereabouts. Ultimately, it was Stanley, the American journalist, who found him after many efforts, but Livingstone had died in a tribal village in 1873. His body was brought to London and buried in Westminster with full honour. 101. Which of the following shows that Livingstone had become very famous?

1. Queen Victoria along with the people of London had come to meet him 2. Queen Victoria arranged for his medical expenses. 3. The tribals were grateful to him for bringing them in the social mainstream 4. He was assigned the task of a priest although he was a medical professional 5. None of these.
